To say that there is tension on the Korean Peninsula would be the understatement of the century; after investigators have determined that North Korea was indeed responsible for the sinking of a South Korean warship and the death of 46, are we looking at the beginning of the inevitable North Korean war? Obama has ordered the US military to be ready to deal with aggression by the North.

Both the United States and South Korea announced that they will hold joint exercises off the coast of the peninsula in a show of unity and force. President Obama has asked that our policy toward North Korea be “reviewed.” In light of a possible North Korean war which would have been started by Kim Jong Il, it seems that more than a review is necessary.

Ban Ki-Moon, UN Secretary General is even flexing the somewhat muted muscle of the United Nations saying that he expects the UN Security Council to “take action” against the rogue regime.

An all out North Korean war has been coming for a while; it seems closer than ever now. Unfortunately for South Korea, I’m not sure that the current Administration has the resolve or the will to engage Pyongyang in all out war. Obama’s a tough talker (sometimes), but hasn’t shown that he will deal harshly with the likes of North Korea.

What will Obama ultimately do in relation to a possible North Korean war? Obama didn’t bargain for this when he signed up for the job, everyone including Kim Jong Il was supposed to be in love with him by now. Actions by North Korea and other rogue regimes prove what we have always knew, Obama and the democrats are weak when it comes to national defense, that hasn’t changed.

The United States still has some 30,000 troops in the demilitarized zone on the Korean peninsula.

If sinking one of your warships is not reason enough to go to war I don’t know what is. N. Korea is just like any bully. Stand up to him and they collapse without a punch thrown. In the event they don’t it will be a short war as it will go nuclear right away and N. Korea will be a radioactive wasteland for the next 5000 years.

Well, if obama has everyone on standby, get ready, because an apology is coming. He’s gonna run to n. korea and apologize before kim jong il faster than you can say lo mein. He’s working on his bow right now, in between failing to do anything about the oil accident in the gulf of Mexico and his state dinner parties that have every anti-American liberal in attendance.

obama isn’t going to do anything, he’ll fold and this will be his downfall. All of America’s enemies are watching and waiting for the response. kim jong il knew he would be able to get away with it and that’s why he did it. Furthermore, if obama DOESN’T do anything about this it will get worse. You know if it was Bush is the White House this would never ever have happened. Goes to show, you show strength the enemy backs off, you show appeasement and signs of weakness and it emboldens the enemy. This comes with experience, that’s the difference between Bush and obama.

Guys, anything short of a mushroom cloud will not be provocation enough for Mr. Obama to go to war. And even then I’m not so sure.

I do believe obama should threaten to deal with n. korea but not with nuclear weapons thats how our allie countries grew to hate us and futhermore its not obama who declares war it is the senate so that is who you should be blaming but yes obama should defenatley speak his mind to the public so senate can understand what us americans would like them to do but also the US could dicuss this is UN meetings so our allie countries can back us up on our descion, but defenately not nuclear weapons that will destroy the planet as we know it and would probaly be the outbreak of WW3 and futhermore we signed a national treaty saying we would not use nuclear weapons.

Of course, he’s left our Soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq WITHOUT a mission – they seem to be there just to be target practice for the Taliban and al-Qaeda. But that didn’t require him to make a decision. In fact, him leaving them there is a result of him NOT making a decision – which he seems constitutionally incapable of doing.

One would think an attack on our homeland (World Trade Center and the Pentagon) would be enough to go to war – but apparently every body is willing to just let that go. Too bad for all those ppl that got killed.

teddy, you really need to get caught up on some history and not too recent affairs with N. Korea and the last couple administrations efforts.
All thats been tried in many different flavors.
Kim was offered bi-lateral talks but only wanted unilateral with us.
Sanctions have been imposed since the peace treaty actually was never implemented.
More sanctions have been applied since Kim was counterfeiting American dollars, building missiles, testing nukes, and engaging in drug trafficking and manufacture.
Its time to slap the little b*tch silly, fry a few hundred square miles.
I doubt China would do a damn thing. They stand a much better chance of getting paid by us than they do N. Korea

Here it is. The test for our President.
Now, what’s very interesting here is diversion.
We are having a major World economic crisis,
we are practically living in a Depression in
America, the oil spill in the gulf is much
worse then we thought, (it wouldn’t surprise
me if BP in conjunction with major powers
made this happen). When all else fails, start
a war. It’s a great distraction from the real
problems that the World is experiencing right
now. However, let’s hope this doesn’t turn
into World War III. Also, look at Iran, they’
are also creating their own diversions. This
is all in divine order. It is beginning to
unfold. God helps all.

If GW Bush hadn’t decimated the military to show up his daddy maybe we’d be in a better position to kick some North Korean ass but we’re already fighting 2 leftover Bush wars.

Maybe all the Bush supporters with the mouths should get their butts in uniform and over to stand on the southern side of the DMZ as the human idiot shields so no real troops get hurt.

This is when we really need to use a pinpoint daiseycutter strike to wipe out the crazy midget behind this madness.

Wow Jeff, how long are you going to blame Bush for everything? I’m surprised you didn’t throw in the “he’s not really the president because the 2000 election was rigged” argument.

As with any war, they who suffer the most are the innocent citizens. The decision should be calculated, not cavalier.

Jeff;
“Maybe all the Bush supporters with the mouths should get their butts in uniform and over to stand on the southern side of the DMZ as the human idiot shields so no real troops get hurt.”

Hey Jeff, did you know that 75% of the “volunteers” that signed up for Iraq and Afghanistan are registered republicans ?
As far as “human idiot shields” goes, I’m sure you meant to say “idiot human shields” like the leftist idiots that went to Iraq days before the invasion to protect a monster from getting his a$$ handed to him.
Moonbats should stick to bleeding heart issues, race baiting and communal organizing and leave the serious issues to the grown ups

Beth Shaw, the masterminds of 9/11 have always been in Afghanistan, not Iraq. The US mission should have always been centered in Afghanistan, not Iraq. Our men and women in Afghanistan are not without a mission. Even when Bush had a paltry 15,000 soldiers there, our guys in Afghanistan were always looking for Osama bin Laden — from day one.

Obama has stepped up our numbers there and the seriousness of the campaign. While I respect your opinion, I remember my husband’s deployment to Afghanistan under Bush. It seemed to be a forgotten conflict at that time. Very frustrating. Obama’s doing a better job than Bush as far as Afghanistan is concerned.

“the masterminds of 9/11 have always been in Afghanistan, not Iraq. The US mission should have always been centered in Afghanistan, not Iraq.”

That doesnt change the fact that Saddam launched many threats and attacks to the US and neigboring sovereign states.
Had the previous administrations gone into
Afghanistan on pre-emptive measures like those in Iraq you can bet the farm 911 would of never happened.
The first trade tower bombing, the Cole, our embassies all being attacked killing Americans was all the reason in the world for Clinton to launch a full scale invasion. But no, he had actionable intel enabling him to kill UBL and pussed out.
Saddam had violated every peace treaty resolution multiple times, shot at US troops in no fly zones 1200 times, paid suicide bombers families for their deeds in Afghanistan and committed human rights violations off the charts.
Iraq was and always will of been the right thing to do

Whatever the hell Obama is doing hasnt worked out too well over here recently and casualties in Afghanistan are at an all time high.
The winter in Afhanistan just ended, we shall see. Of course annoucing our departure date may make the dumbest strategy I’ve ever heard of in my life.

Hey there.

Honestly… can any of us with any degree of certainty really say what would happen? I quote from comment number 9. “This
is all in divine order. It is beginning to
unfold. God helps all.” This I beleive with utmost certianty. in the next few years thing are only going to go down hill in the world. This may or may not be making the hill steeper but one is for sure, its part of something much bigger than we can comprehend.

Sanctions will never work. Sanctions never “get” the people you want it to. In pre-9/11 the santion in Iraq killed 18000 babies due to the fact that there was no adequite medical supplies. Did it get Saddam? No… Similie to this situation; will it “get” Kim? No… You are just going to starve a already starving nation. Similar to Iran; Will it get Agmadinijad? (Sorry i tried my best)Another round of sanctions? No… It will kill the inoccent and make your enemy more resiliant. Why do you think those countries don’t like America? In Afganistan if you asked someone “who invaded your country?” they aren’t going to say “NATO”. They will & do say America/US has.

Don’t believe I indicated that he did.

My husband serves proudly under any commander in chief, and I’m very proud of his service and the service of our armed forces.

Oh and BTW war in IRAQ and AFGANISTAN is about “terror” oh and lets not forget the beautiful “BLACK GOLD” which is oil. Now let me think… if I used the most oil in the world… and had only about 2% of the worlds oil… That give me a good incentive to go and get my own; don’t you think? And ironicly 22% of the world lies in IRAQ… every idoit would do what they did… All thay needed was a good cover story…

Dean…

Do know that in the last 8 years we havent touched any Iraqi oil ?

Do you know that for the last few years since Iraqis were allowed to vote their parliament has been fighting over how to divide up “THEIR” oil “THREE” ways among the tribes ? ( some of them even got popped for shipping oil revenues to accounts in the Cayman isles)

Do you realize how stupid it would be to launch the campaign we did just to get oil when we could of of very well and easely just “taken” Iraqs oil if we or even the United Nations felt like it ? Or bought it off the market for much less than an 8 year full blown military insertion would cost ?

“and I believe that to be untrue.”

Since the jerk off n chief has attempted to fight these wars the troops end game has a totally different meaning than it did under Bush.
Right now Obamas policies have got our troops, myself and a good majority of civilians so dizzy theres few that have faith in a mission they cant define.

The troops mission used to be to catch and/or kill the enemy.
Now they’re in limbo because due to the executives confusion on just what and who our enemies are to be called. Morale is probably half of what it was under Bush, casualties are up, attacks on the homeland (the home they’re actually defending)are way up above any of the Bush years
Now were supposed to bow and give a$$ kissing apologetic, appeasing speechs with the Muslim Brotherhood sitting up front and center.
Maybe the missions just mean so little now that you cant really call them anything ?
